small stuff

my mom has told me my whole life, "don't sweat the small stuff"...

my problem is, i can't get my brain to register the things that irritate/bother me as "small stuff"! words can hurt so badly no matter what message they were intended to convey. i've found myself to be pretty intuitive as to people's actions/words and the motives behind them. maybe that's why i let things bother me so much. i also have a hard time letting go of hurts. there is so much that god has to work out in me still, but there's so much he has to work out in all of us. i'm no better or worse than anyone else, i have just been redeemed thru jesus. and since i have been redeemed, i should offer grace to all of those who don't have hope in him.

lord, help me to be more graceful in word & deed!

who was that crazy woman flipping a u-ie (u-turn) in the school parking lot this afternoon when her daughter told her some boy elbowed her in the stomach??? well it most certainly wasn't ME!

and who was ready to go to jail for spanking said boy for elbowing her daughter in the stomach? i would NEVER raise my hand to a child!!!

i could do more because i usually embarrass myself on a regular basis ;o) but i decided that 2 crimes in one day were enough to entertain!!!
